Autonomous Ice Mass Balance Buoy Observations in the Arctic from 2000 to Present
Autonomous ice mass balance buoys (IMBs) and their successors, the seasonal ice mass balance buoys (SIMBs), have routinely been deployed in the Arctic sea ice pack since 2000. These buoys were designed to make in situ observations of changes in the local sea ice mass balance and to determine the dri...
